Ron Paul has tremendous momentum and his support is growing exponentially. The other candidates are stagnant. Only Ron Paul’s support is growing and will continue to grow!

Over the next six months Ron Paul will gain name recognition and republicans will learn about who Ron Paul is and most will support him.

Ron Paul only needs 30% of republicans sick of the war and abuse of powers to win the republican nomination.

Once Ron Paul wins the nomination he will be the only anti-war candidate. Ron Paul will win election.

And there is much he can do in office.

The White House is such a beautiful piece of American history that it shouldn’t be used a an office but as a national treasure and taken care of like a museum should be…

He has my vote even if it has to be a write-in.

Paul would not be able to change things overnight or by himself, but things would change. We would not be going to war with Iran, the war in Iraq would be over. Pork-barrel spending would be slapped down with a veto faster then W could pardon Scooter. The failed, racist war on drugs would have to end. He could immediately pardon all prisoners in jail for nonviolent drug charges. We would begin a slow movement towards sane monetary policy. Most importantly, American traditions of peace, liberty, and prosperity would begin to reassert themselves on the world stage. That is something worth having a new revolution over.

I grew up during the Cold War. “The USSR would never fall”, they said. Well the USSR is gone now, it’s history, and the Eastern Block of the Iron Curtain are all proud members of Nato and the EU. Change can and does happen and we are at a moment in our history were we can bring about change. Defeatism doesn’t help the cause! Keep your eye on the ball people, Ron Paul in ’08!

I think Ron Paul should say this first before someone else does because it’s actually true…maybe as we get closer to the primaries, but before someone else says it. Too early yet to crown her Democrat nominee but it is looking that way. Lefties love her for some strange reason. Let’s see, she’s pro-war, weak in her own marriage, undecisive and overly political about everything. Why do they like her? Anyway, only Ron Paul can beat her because he’s the only Republican against the War and she would continue it.

if everyone who thinks like you would just support ron he would win. when he wins he will have the power to enlighten the people(not control). and it is up to the people to step up and do what is right. after all â€œwe the people have the powerâ€(unfortunately most americans are stupid). so thats that!

You’re kind of contradicting yourself… if “most americans are stupid,” it would not be possible “most americans” to “think like you” and support Ron Paul. That is, people who believe in what Ron Paul is saying will unfortunately be a small minority.

It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the campaign goes, but I’m not that optimistic about the Joe Six Pack voter.

And that does include pressuring current officials and electing new ones that truly believe in America, the constitution and liberty.

Ron Paul winning the presidency is not the end victory but the beginning of change. America will need to stay awake and active much longer then one election and since Ron Paul’s ideals resonate so deeply with the American people I think we will.

America is really tired of feeling embarrassed for our countries leadership and really wants a leader we can be proud of so we can be proud of what our country stands for again. I know I do.

Unfortunately, if enough people take the stance that a vote for Dr. Paul is a wasted one, he never will be elected.
You do not have to vote for the lesser of two evils.
And we can at least show the country that many of us are ready for a change.

After my inaugural day, I’d probably spend little more than an hour a day in the Oval Office, because a busy president is a dangerous president. But for the very first day, I’d have an extremely long agenda.

On that first day in office, by executive order I would:

Pardon everyone who had been convicted on a federal, non-violent drug charge, order their immediate release, reunite them with their families, and restore all their civil rights. (Anyone convicted of using violence against someone else in a drug case would not qualify as “non-violent.”)

Pardon everyone who had been convicted on any federal gun-control charge, tax-evasion charge, or any other victimless crime, order their immediate release, and restore all their civil rights.

I would empty the prisons of those who haven’t harmed anyone else and make room for the violent criminals who are currently getting out on plea bargains and early release.
Following the issuance of the pardons:

I would announce a policy to penalize, dismiss, or even prosecute any federal employee who violated the Bill of Rights by treating you as guilty until proven innocent, by searching or seizing your property without due process of law, by treating you as a servant, or in any other way violating your rights as a sovereign American citizen.

I would immediately order that no federal asset forfeiture could occur unless the property’s owner had been convicted by full due process. And I would initiate steps to make restitution to anyone whose property had been impounded, frozen, or seized by the federal government without a legal conviction. (Over 80 percent of such seizures occur when no one has even been charged with a crime.)

As commander in chief of the Armed Forces, I would immediately remove all American troops from foreign soil. Europe and Asia can pay for their own defense, and they can risk their own lives in their eternal squabbles. This would save billions of dollars a year in taxes, but — more important — it would make sure your sons and daughters never fight or die in someone else’s war.

I would end federal affirmative action, federal quotas, set-asides, preferential treatments, and other discriminatory practices of the federal government. Any previous president could have done this with a stroke of the pen. Do you wonder why none of them did?

I agree completely (although- I think the good Dr. may have a better chance than you think) But if Ron Paul does win, his only real power besides pulling out of Iraq will be the veto pen, unfortunately they’ll probably override him quite a bit unless we can GET MORE CONSTITUTIONALIST CONGRESSMAN into washington. Another thing, if Paul wins, what does that do for his congressional seat? Who will be the new Dr. No in congress?

Yes, it would be encouraging if Ron Paul had some big recognition like the other candidates, but you guys are forgetting just how far away the primaries are and just how much progress has been made.

Secondly, a commenter above said it best – a libertarian president with the power to Veto can at least stop government growing and passing more costly legislation. Ron Paul can easily defend his actions by saying that he believes Congress is trying to pass legislation that is unconstitutional and that is reason enough to veto it.
